Jenner is a first name typically given to boys, but in rare cases also used as a girls name.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Jenner in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Jenner in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Jenner by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Jenner ranks at #5,939. That means there are 5,938 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Jenner.
